I've been asking my kids the exact same thing! Although they do play outside of the house, they always prefer to be in front of their Ipad or whatever gadget they have at the moment. The reason they always give us is because in school, they're not allowed to bring their "toys." Anyways, school is starting soon and these gadgets will also be locked up where they belong, in the cabinet.Playing video games for 4 hours is definitely too much, especially since it is summer. I remember being booted from the house as soon as we had breakfast during the summertime when I was a kid. We were expected to play with our friends and get fresh air. Why would you want to sit in front of a mind numbing video game all day?
